The Father McKenna Center is an independent 501(c)3 in the Ignatian Catholic tradition located in Washington, D.C. We serve men struggling with homelessness and families facing food insecurity. We provide a structured programming that supports our mission of Meeting Needs ... Reclaiming Lives.
We have three different programs for men experiencing homelessness: the Day Program, McKenna Academy, and Hypothermia/Transition Shelter. For D.C. residents facing food insecurity, we operate a four-day-a-week, client choice Food Pantry that provides a variety of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable food items.
